It is a transdisciplinary creative performance, combining dance, theater, and music. An experience where anonymous people, enthusiasts, observers, and regular recipients of artistic expression are the interpreters of this work.
Creating a show whose protagonists are truly those spectators who occupy a seat is merely a physical change of location. Discovering, telling the story the audience wants to share from the premise "And you, what do you bring?" What concerns, reflections, and what worries you in the social sphere that you wish to share.

Duration 50 minutes
Aimed at young and adult public.
This performance-laboratory, due to its creative characteristics, is unrepeatable and unique, created in an artist residency, because it is based on the artistic proposals of the participants in each organized performance.
And you, who do you bring? It is an experience of encounter, creation and collective expression, celebrating identity and memory, the place of the body and imagination, exchange and artistic transformation.
Besides bringing a friend or acquaintance who also brings you, who else do you bring, in your body and in your mind?
Who do you bring or what do you bring inside of you, that you have never been able to express yourself with confidence and freedom?
What questions, desires, concerns, memories, landscapes, times, voices, pains, images, people, flavors, places, bodies, pleasure, smells, forgetfulness, feelings and joys do you bring to you?
Who do you talk to and what do you talk about when you are alone with yourself?
We propose the creation of a time in which we can expand what we carry inside, and share it freely, without judgement, until words are no longer enough and we have to dilute them in our bodies, and until movement is no longer enough and we have to condense it into one word.
Beyond performance, dance, and theater, but with the freedom to convene them, what we seek is to build a place and a moment where we can breathe what we are, what we feel, what we think, what we imagine, what we dream... and always carry it inside, like an interior garden, like a nut, until we can once again open the doors and share it...

Laboratory call
The project is organized through a workshop open to all audiences, with or without artistic experience, ages 16 and up. Over several days, the workshop will focus on participants' artistic proposals, as well as on acting and movement work, group work, and stage creation, culminating in a performance. The workshop will last four to five days, lasting three hours each day. Total participants: 10. Performances: one to two days.
WHO CONVENES THE LABORATORY:
The workshop will be organized by the corresponding Festival or event in collaboration with the Alicia Soto-Hojarasca company.
OBJECTIVE OF THE LABORATORY AND THE SHOW-PERFORMANCE:
The goal of both initiatives is to foster a theater's social community and create new audiences. They also promote social integration, gender equality, and address issues of economic and environmental sustainability.
